I like Steve King, mostly aggressive on most issues. Complete sell-out to his big money sources in the planet harming corn ethanol lobby.

(Just thought I would note the pollution effects on the bogus climate change scenario since that UN driven scheme is all the rage.)

Because, with a possible successful challenge to his leadership looming, this frees him. There are quite a few huge matters coming before Congress (the Iran trade deal, TPP, PlannedParenthood, amnesty, etc.). If he turn-coated enough of them, he’d be voted out on the spot (especially if he tried to maintain with Dem help. He could only do that once...)

Now he has nothing to stop him from kow-towing to the wishes of the Chamber of Commerce types who want their money at the expense of America’s safety and values. He can betray us and not have to worry about backlash, because it won’t be worth the fight to get him out 3-4 weeks earlier.

Trust me, this is the calm before the storm. Things are about to get really nasty...

Because unfortunately he will help force funding PP through with the ‘budget’ and now has no reason not to.

He will howerver be gone and in so doing galvinize support against the GOPe.

Yup. But ultimately he was gonna do it anyway. He will just do it unmasked. Which is good because perhaps then the lesser evil idiots will understand their folly. Then again they will likely defend him and blame the people that ousted him ignoring the fact he would have done his evil regardless.

is his seat the one our departed FReeper Congressman Billy Bob ran for?

Yes. The very one. If I remember correctly, he (John Armor, aka Congressman BillyBob) was from the Cashiers area as well.

Mark Meadows is a great Congressman!

A funny part of me is thinking, now that the FBI has Hillary’s server and has managed to pull up emails..then Boehner resigns.

Okay, probably should loosen my tin foil hat a bit.

Nope, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

I just heard Rep. Peter King on the radio saying Boehner’s resignation “is a victory for the crazies.” FUPK.

Speaking of ticks. Perhaps you could “tick off” your understanding of the limitations of congressional investigations. There is a list, you know.

When you find the damn thing, get back to us and compare it to Gowdy’s ability to demand much of anything with his committee actions.

Otherwise most of us understand the Committee is still waiting on a couple of things; ALL the evidence, as opposed to some of the evidence; and, the political timing to drop bombs on Hillary Clinton’s chances at the nomination/White House.

Slandering Gowdy is the height of ignorance. Politics isn’t a fast serve joint, like you must be used to, especially when those in powerful positions are openly hiding some of the chess pieces.

Or, do you read?
